Stand your ground

These punks always get away, you say, they always get away
Another pin gets skittled down
We've got to keep our heads and hands up in the air
And turn our frowns around
Stand your ground

She didn't ought to talk like that, she didn't know her place
Some warnings can't be received
We have to know who can be wrong, who will be right
Who's earned the right to be believed
Stand your ground

Some nights the ends won't meet, no matter how you make them
Unless they're bitter ends
One hundred fifty silver dollars can't buy justice
Or bring a boneyard back to life
Stand your ground

There are things we hear that may be misconception
Mistakes don't put bodies in the dirt
They cannot hear when they decide not to listen
This message needs to be loud
Stand your ground
